TAN- A CURSE FOR MANY

I have met many people who complain of having a sun tanned skin. They do not like the dark brown colour of their skin. They indulge in every possible measure to get rid of their dark toned skin and to get back their pale skin.

So, you aren't the only one in this race to get rid of the SUN TAN! ( yayyyy!!!)
Sun Tan nowadays has become a fashion. There are several products available in the market which give you a fake tan that is tan without harmful sun rays.

With this TAN FRIENDLY trend getting a hype in the market there are many people who absolutely hate tanned skin and are searching ways to get their pale skin tone back.

For me, I think its better to stick to your natural skin tone because every skin tone is the BEST!.
Any kind or type of ARTIFICIALITY doesn't look good and is definitely not better than NATURALITY.

So, Today's post is all about and for NATURAL PEOPLE (hihi xD) I mean ANTI-TAN PEOPLE.

First and foremost we all should know what the heck is this TAN all about?
In a simple lay man's language-a tan is a  colour on the skin resulting from exposure to the sun.

Melanin is a pigment in our skin and is what gives our skin its colour. UVA causes a tan by oxidizing the melanin. Essentially, the melanin undergoes a chemical reaction after being exposed to UVA, causing it to become darker. When the melanin looks darker, the skin itself looks tanned and dark.

Therefore, natural tan is not at all healthy for skin. Therefore, one must take adequate precautions before stepping out in the sun.

Now, people who have already got their skin tanned and want to get rid of it. Here's my NATURAL remedy for them to get rid of tan and get an absolutely glowing and healthy skin. This is what I do for my glowing tan free skin.

INGREDIENTS:

1) CURD (skin cooling properties, probiotics and enzymes treat melanin, makes skin recover faster and is also an effective anti-ageing treatment)

2) LEMON JUICE (natural bleach and has de- pigmentation properties)

3) GRAMFLOUR (it will remove all the dirt and oil from your skin and your complexion becomes fairer)












METHOD:

Mix all the three ingredients mentioned above in the ratio of 3:1:2.
And apply it on the desired area for minimum of 15 minutes.
After that, wash it off with lukewarm water and pat dry your skin.

You will see the results after first application itself.

REMEMBER:

1. keep yourself protected from harmful sun rays and do apply sunscreen with at least spf 30.
2. Try not to go out in the sun during peak hours that is from 12 noon to 4 pm.
3. Drink ample amount of water to hydrate the skin.
4. Re-apply your sunscreen every 3 hours.
5. Wear a hat or carry an umbrella with yourself to keep yourself safe from sunrays.

Keep the charm of your  tan free skin on!
tada!





 
 

Make Your Own NATURAL Lip Balm+ Colour..

Before reading this post you gotta say...MMMMUUUWWWAAAHHHHHH :-*

YES!...The second sexiest part of human body (hihi XD) ...
LIPS really affect the way people see and judge our self. Dark and flaky lips not only make people look unattractive but also are a sign of bad lifestyle.

People with pink, soft red coloured lips look absolutely amazing and are also proven to be more healthy and fit as compared to others.

Also, when it comes to one's personality lips play a very important part.
Good looking and nice lips give that extra touch of aristocratic feel to one's features.

Nowadays, markets are full with different types of lip conditioners and lip colours which promise to make your lips attractive. But, the sad part is that they promise only temporary attractiveness and in the long run if you keep using those products regularly you tend to make your lips look dark, dull and flaky because all those products in the market are full of chemicals.

SO, what's the remedy ? how can you get great looking lips permanently without using any chemicals?
Here's the solution.

Today I am going to tell you my magical formula of making a lip balm cum lip colour at your home NATURALLY!

REQUIREMENTS:

1) VASELINE PETROLLEUM JELLY











2) CRUSHED ROSE PETALS








3) COCONUT OIL


METHOD:

Mix one part of Vaseline petroleum jelly to three parts of crushed rose petals and add 3-5 drops of coconut oil to it.  Mix all the ingredients very well and phew! here you have your very own natural and cool lip balm plus lip colour.

This lip colour will really condition your lips and also give your lips a natural pink colour. Within one week you will see the results of this natural lip colour.


After using this lip balm / colour you will never need any chemical based lip colours or balms.

Keep the charm on with your beautiful and  pouticious
lips!
tada!



 

GLOWING 'N' EATING

Ever wondered why angels and seductresses always GLOW?
There is a reason behind it and the reason is  Human mind always gets attracted to shining or bright or glamorous things.
Its human tendency to ignore what's plain Jane like.
but no matter what or how many times our mind is forced to recall the famous saying
      

                                                "All that glitters is not gold"

We still go behind that glitter because its what attracts us.

So, today I am going to share a post on how to make not only your face but your whole body glowing.

This is a tried and tested method (I have tried and tested it on me)

First and foremost rule of this therapy is:

1. EAT CLEAN

by clean I mean here CLEAN!!!...No junkies, No saturated oils and No processed sugars.
Obviously you just cant stop eating all this all of a sudden but at least remind yourself that your stomach is not a DUSTBIN! so don't put trash in it.
Whatever you eat shows on your skin and body. Also, instead of having a diet coke or diet food have normal coke and normal food because diet foods add lots and lots of bad calories to your body because it is processed extra.






2. EAT RAW

As they say simplicity is the key to healthy living and it actually is true. Eating raw food without cooking gives you 80% more nutrients and benefits which reduce to only 20% when the food is cooked.
So, eat raw tomatoes, peas, make brown bread vegetable sandwiches and have a happy and a healthy body.

3. THE LIVE SAVING FLUID

Yes I am talking about WATER. When you wake up in the morning have two warm glasses of water and one glass of warm water containing - 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder, 1 teaspoon honey and half lemon juice.
This detoxifying drink will pull out all toxins from your body and will give a flawless and glowing skin.
So, make this a compulsory task on your everyday to-do list.




4. BED TEA

Now most of us are in the habit of having bed tea as soon as we get up. This habit isn't wrong but what's wrong is TEA!
instead of taking dark tea have GREEN TEA as bed tea and you will see the difference in the amount of energy, metabolism and glow it delivers. Its definitely worth having.





5. SUNSCREEN

I hope you use sunscreen to protect yourself from the harmful UV rays. But do you use it only when you have to step out of your home?
If yes, then you are going on a totally wrong track. You must use sunscreen while your are at home too because the harmful light from your laptops, television, cell phones, tube lights, cfl, bulbs etc. makes your skin  dark and lifeless and adds age to it. So, if you cant give up on your favourite cream mix sunscreen with it and apply it. Trust me, its going to show a life transforming effect on your skin.




6. EXERCISE

I know when we hear this word we are like I CANT GO TO THE GYM!!! but my question is WHO'S ASKING YOU TO?

you don't have to go to the gym to exercise. You can pick your everyday plan from the internet or you can dance on any favourite song of your choice. Start with one song and after a week keep adding one more to the list.
Exercising increases blood circulation in the body which brings a soft pink glow on the face and nice glow on the body too.
And who doesn't like a well toned and sexy body.
SO, with these six magic fundas you are definitely going to get blessed with a glowing skin.

And if you do try this.
Please reply to me and let me know whether it helped you or not!

till then.

keep the charm on and glow like a star
Tada!





 

BREAK THOSE BREAKOUTS...

Hi!

How have you been?
enjoying my posts???

I hope I am adding atleast a little bit charm to your everyday lives through my posts.
My priority always remains to educate people around my surroundings about knowledge that actually matters!

And according to me what really really matters in one's life the most is "THYSELF"...
So, therefore all my posts try adding up a charm in your life be it spiritually, mentally, physically, emotionally or humourously!

Today my post is about something that we all have seen! googled at least once in our life! tried different remedies to prevent it and many are still struggling with it!!!...

Yes its none other than ACNE/ PIMPLES/BREAKOUTS.

I have conducted a thorough research on this devil and here I am going to explain why?  when? where? and how? 's about it.

* Why/When does our skin breakout?

The answer to this question is that our skin can breakout because of many reasons but I am listing out those reasons which are majorly responsible for skin breakouts: dirt, excessive secretion of oil from oil glands, wrong food habits, wrong cosmetics usage, unclean environment, environment not suiting your skin type, puberty.
One more reason for breakouts is Candida fungus. Its a fungus that feeds on dirt and infections. It is easily transferable via touch ( this is the reason you are asked not to touch a baby pimple or else it will become a father pimple).
 
*Where can the breakout occur?

Well, Breakouts can occur anywhere on your body where you have SKIN!
There is no rule that breakouts can occur only on face, back and chest. They enjoy the freedom to surprise you anywhere on your body.

*How can we treat breakouts?

I have seen a lot of blogs, websites , people giving these promising advice on treating acne but does that all work? maybe few of them do work and treat acne but do they all help in getting rid of breakouts completely?
I have tried all of those remedies given over the internet EACH AND EVERY ONE!
but sadly, none worked for me. That's the reason I conducted this thorough research on this devil.
Trust me, nobody would feel and know exactly how it is to go through a phase in your life where your face is filled up with acne/breakouts. The humiliation and embarrassment NOBODY can see themselves in your place.
SO, I decided to face all this on my own and ting ting here I am with a face wash
that I made myself and poof it was my little genie.
I still use it and today I have a flawless, glowing and fair skin.

Ingredients required to make it:

 1) Chickpea flour( improves complexion)


2) Baking soda (kills candida)

3) Turmeric ( improves complexion and brings glow)

4) Oats ( makes the skin smooth and clear)

5) Pink lentils ( removes wrinkles and reverses ageing) [ make a powder of pink lentils by grinding them in a mixer]

Method:

Add 4tbsp chickpea flour in a bowl to that add 2 tbsp. of baking soda. Then add 1 tbsp. of turmeric to the same mixture and 3 tbsp. of oats and 3 tbsp. of  powdered pink lentils.
Mix all these ingredients thoroughly.

Now put this powdered mixture in a bottle or box whatever suits you best.
Then you are done . You own your own genie face wash.

Usage Instructions:
Take little amount in your hand to that add few drops of water and make a thick paste. Now use this thick paste like your everyday face wash and see the magic after first use itself.

I hope you all try it. This has worked for me and trust me it will work for you too!

Keep smiling and flaunting the charm of your flawless skin!
Tada

Boo Boo Beauty!

Today I was just going through random blogs on YouTube. There are really a lot of people blogging and really giving out their "guru gyan" about "BEAUTY" , like how to be beautiful, how to get flawless skin in 10 days, how to look drop dead gorgeous etc. etc.
I was so pissed off with all this that I decided to pour out my thoughts on my blog and express my views and know what you all feel or think about "BEAUTY".
Our society and the people around us make this whole concept of beauty so rude and tough that if a girl in her teens starts getting acne on her skin she becomes mentally so frustrated and pressurised that she will go to each and every possible extent to get rid of that acne.
My point is that why such pressure and tension????????????????
why have we all made this whole concept of beauty so rigid??????????  
 
 

why cant a girl with freckles and acne and plump frame be considered equally beautiful?????//
The whole notion of the much talked about perfect face shape being "oval" and the perfect figure shape being "hour-glass" and the seductive girl has "long locks" ...why all there restrictions and rigidity???
why cant all the face shapes be considered perfect??? and why cant all figure shapes be considered perfect???? and why cant girls with short hair be considered equally sexy and seductive??
We all have to question all theses pre-conceived notions because if we'll not then the future of human generation becomes so blank and dull.
In a recent survey girls of age 10 were seen dieting (Omg!!!!). 

Why cant we all live and let ithers live too????

Why so many restrictions??? Why so much pressure on small brains of lil ones...at the age of 10 children are suppossed to enjoy colours of life, live every moment to the fullest not diet! 

All these notions are leading to mob mentality and just like the famous Rhinoceros novel we all are being engulfed in the world full of rhinoceros where humanity is at risk.
so, all the young ladies and old ones too think before you buy that much famed product to enhance your complexion because its not a complexion enhancing cream but its something that is telling you that you need to enhance your complexion and making you uncomfortable in your own skin.
 

 

 

Keep the charm on!

TADA!!!

Hello people
how have you been??????????? I had a blast last week.....................(okay! NOT REALLY!!!) I was dealing with severe cold attack....:(( *sob*sob*
But, I am here again....
So, today I am going to share one of my life's experiences which taught me that "every experience in life happens for good, to make you a better and complete person". Everybody thinks , actually "believes" that they have worlds heaviest burden on their shoulders but this is not TRUE!!!....
This I realised when now I sit back and think about those troubles and hindrances which then seemed "BURDEN" but were nothing more than *silly minds COMPLICATIONS*.
So the story starts like this......
ha-ha!...don't worry I am not going to eat up your precious time so, here's the jest...
I was in my graduation college. Like every batch my batch also had two north and south pole groups i.e., two groups that could go to each and every extent to make the other group look or feel inferior and I was the *favourite* girl among both the groups( yayyyyy!!!)....No! the story isn't this sweet. Actually the whole trouble starts here itself...
till first and second year everything was fine but slowly both the groups started feeling jealous of me because of my good grades, good looks, good personality and yes I was teachers pet too and on top of that I was very active in extra curricular activities too!!!
slowly and steadily both the groups shifted their focuses from each other and their biggest enemy on this planet of life became "CHARMIS" ( awwwww...:(((()
They did every possible thing to make me feel inferior from boycotting me to every possible trick their minds could think of!!!
Both the groups got together and became friends and put the whole blame for their rivalry on me without giving any chance of expression  to ME!!! (UNFAIR)
No wonder I felt like Othello ( lonely and sad)....

But, I did not give up. I got good grades continued to be the best and here I am today- successful and happy soul!!!
Now, many people go through similar situations in life but lose their morale and self esteem but the key to remember is " when you are going up the ladder of success the people who are below you will always try to pull you down".
Therefore, Believe in yourself and your capabilities. They are your haters because its hard for them to accept that they are your followers and they want to be like you.
So, next time anybody tries to put you down or is jealous of you give a smile and say thank you  :)
Because they are your real "MOTIVATORS".
So now after 2 years when I think about that incident I laugh at it because the problem which seemed never ending is now a joke to laugh at!
                                          " Nothing is permanent. Neither your sorrows nor your happiness"

So live in the moment. Enjoy every moment and by that I mean "sorrow" as well because if you enjoy only "happiness" then you'll never realise the real value of it.
If you are feeling melancholic enjoy it don't run away from it. Face it without any hesitations' and that's when you will know your real potentials and real character.

Keep your charm on!
tada!
